Apprenticeship Guidance Support for Schools & Parents

Helping you give your students the confidence to explore and apply for apprenticeships.

Why This Matters Now

The Department for Education’s ASK programme has ended — but the need for high-quality apprenticeship guidance in schools has never been greater.

​

1. Apprenticeships are constantly evolving.

​

2. Teachers and parents have limited time to keep up.

​

3. Careers leaders are stretched across multiple year groups.

We’re here to make it simpler.

What Schools Say

"This service is invaluable. The level of expertise and insight into apprenticeships that is provided to our students is always informative, well planned, and adapted to their needs."

– Somervale School

"Not every student wants to continue to sixth form or university, apprenticeships at 16 & 18 are very popular, having expert apprenticeship IAG support is essentially valuable."

– Wellsway School

"The vast majority of our students would like an Apprenticeship and they need help finding and applying to these."

– Merchants Academy
